This book was released on 1998 with total page 432 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This is not a new edition of the Middle English text that survives in more manuscripts than almost any other. Rather, this work classifies and groups the manuscripts and early printed editions, and comments on the relationships that developed among them from the late 14th to and sometimes beyond the 15th century. Covers the common versions, the extended version, the abbreviated version, peculiar texts and versions, and early printed editions. The detailed comparisons require a fairly high degree of fluency in Middle English. Annotation copyrighted by Book News, Inc., Portland, OR

Book excerpt: The narrative covers the periods 1377-1437 and 1440-1461, and includes previously unknown English-language accounts of episodes of the reign of Richard II, such as the Peasants' Revolt. Each continuation is the product of a different political climate, and the introduction explores the narrative and rhetorical structures that lie behind them. As a whole, the edition offers particularly valuable insights into the growth of a highly politicised vernacular historical narrative, and the way in which two medieval compilers sought to represent the history of the late fourteenth and early fifteenth centuries."--Jacket.

Book The Medieval Chronicle V

Download or read book The Medieval Chronicle V written by and published by BRILL. This book was released on 2008-01-01 with total page 235 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: There are several reasons why the chronicle is particularly suited as the topic of a yearbook. In the first place there is its ubiquity: all over Europe and throughout the Middle Ages chronicles were written, both in Latin and in the vernacular, and not only in Europe but also in the countries neighbouring on it, like those of the Arabic world. Secondly, all chronicles raise such questions as by whom, for whom, or for what purpose were they written, how do they reconstruct the past, what determined the choice of verse or prose, or what kind of literary influences are discernable in them. Finally, many chronicles have been beautifully illuminated, and the relation between text and image leads to a wholly different set of questions.The yearbook The Medieval Chronicle aims to provide a representative survey of the on-going research in the field of chronicle studies, illustrated by examples from specific chronicles from a wide variety of countries, periods and cultural backgrounds. The Medieval Chronicle is published in cooperation with the Medieval Chronicle Society.
